I seemed to be very tired, maybe because I ate light and only had 1 coffee. But it meant I was too slow getting the roast on and then we had to wait so dinner was more than 1 hour late. I tried to compensate by eating an extra carrot but ended up hungry all afternoon and evening.

Tiredness and a text to from Jay and I messed up. I'm not too upset but nor am I happy about it.

I made muffins for visitors, Mum and Jay, and ate more than my share plus I ate bread cheese and honey sandwich. I can't remember now exactly how much but it wasn't helpful. I was simply too tired to prepare a proper meal and TWJ wasn't well. Roll on tomorrow.

River Day so no food plan. Lunch and snacks are shared as in pot luck. I will stop at SuperMarket on way home and get something easy to prepare for tea as I didn't think through to today when we did yesterday's shop.

I was very hungry several times today as there were some very long gaps between eating opportunities. I also ate whatever I felt like from what was available at our morning and lunch breaks. I was very tired when I got home and took the easy way out. A sensible person would have had the evening meals prepared in advance but that wasn't going to happen this week. I'm not unhappy with how I ate .... not like last weekend, because I expected to have this kind of day. It did not sneak up on me. I will accept the weight gain that shows on the scale tomorrow and I will undo the damage over the next few days.

Dinner:- pizza on tortilla, glass pinot gris from Otago.
Snack 3; 10 rice whole grain wafers - these are the best I have tried. Must check nutritional panel and maybe I can have a few for a snack with cheese occasionally.

Dinner:- salmon, lemon, parsley, cucumber salad with yoghurt, carrot & potato mash. I don't know why I subject myself to cooking fish and then having to eat it. The salmon was not worth the effort so that's the end of me putting salmon on my weekly menu. Bring on the mushrooms stuffed with spinach. Now that was yummy.
Snack 3; plain Greek yoghurt but only if I'm really hungry *no*

VERY LATE SNACK; 4 SLICES OF BREAD WITH BUTTER AND HONEY ..... All I can say is ouch and why? Maybe it was a reaction to not being happy with the salmon.

I am late filling this in and I may not have it exactly correct. After my confident post in the morning I let the day go to H*** by not eating meals in good order. So silly of me. I meal and 3 tiny snacks all late afternoon on.

8 days left of my 25 day challenge. I haven't handled this at all well in the sense that my challenge was to stay true to LFL and get my exercise. On the other hand I have lost 1/2 the weight I set out to lose which means I am not going to reach my weight goal either but I'm 100 grams from being into double figures, 20 pounds away from pound wonderland which is better than if I'd done nothing. I will continue doing this until the 25 days are up and begin a 6 week LFL cycle from fresh next Tuesday or is it Wednesday? That will change my official weigh day for LFL but I will keep Mondays for SFL and HYC. Actually it doesn't change anything for LFL because part of the program is weigh daily which suits me. 25 days is a nice round figure for my personal challenge. OK it doesn't match the 7 day week but LFL does that. 25 days works so I'm not changing that. 50 seems too long and somehow 21 doesn't have a ring to it.
